Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has signaled a willingness to resume nuclear talks with the US, but only if Washington approaches the negotiations with "dignity and respect". In a speech at a security conference in Tehran, Araghchi emphasized that diplomacy is the ultimate solution to resolving disputes, but its principles must be adhered to.
Araghchi's statement comes after Israel, backed by the US, launched a 12-day attack on Iranian nuclear sites in June, which led to the collapse of previous talks. The attacks were widely seen as an attempt to intimidate Iran and disrupt its nuclear program, but Araghchi insists that his country has emerged stronger militarily and psychologically from the conflict.
Despite this, Tehran remains committed to its right to enrich uranium domestically, which is the primary cause of the impasse in the negotiations. Iranian officials claim that they have reached a "magic solution" to the enrichment issue in previous talks, which involved an Iran-based consortium with American involvement.
However, it appears that the consortium proposal has been put on hold, and Iranian officials are now seeking a revised agreement that could involve US nuclear scientists operating inside Iran. Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff had previously claimed that the deal was collapsed due to "spoilers in Washington", but Araghchi suggests that the proposal could be revived in some form if talks reopen.
The Iranian foreign minister warned that diplomacy is not part of a show, and that trust must be earned through consistent behavior. He also emphasized that Iran will not compromise on its sovereignty and will not accept unconditional surrender from any country.
Araghchi's statement has been met with skepticism by some observers, who see it as a thinly veiled attempt to pressure the US into accepting Iran's terms. However, others argue that Tehran's willingness to engage in talks demonstrates a commitment to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Ultimately, whether or not Iran will rejoin US nuclear talks is contingent on Washington's approach. As Araghchi said, "If they speak to the Iranian people with the language of dignity and respect, they will receive a response in the same language."

i mean, iran wants to talk to us again about nukes but only if we approach it with respect 
that makes sense, right? they got kinda hurt by us backing israel during that attack 
and now they want a better deal 
but what's the real catch here? are they just trying to be all diplomatic or is there something more to it? 
, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Abbas Araghchi seems like a reasonable guy, but his "dignity and respect" ultimatum kinda stings 
.
. Let's see some concrete proof of that before I start cheering 
. And what's up with this "magic solution" business? It sounds like a bunch of hooey to me 
.
. The US and Iran need to find some common ground (no pun intended) and talk things through. Maybe it's time for a fresh approach? Fingers crossed 
but one thing's for sure we need diplomacy in this world 
gotta find ways to resolve conflicts without blowin' each other up 
. at the same time, it's hard not to wonder if iran's just trying to get what they want on their terms, without really putting in the effort to compromise 
.
I'm not sure if Iran's willingness to resume talks is a good thing or not...I mean, it's like they're saying "let's talk again" but there's still so much at stake. 
Is it just about being nice and shaking hands or is it about actual concessions and compromise? 
. Seriously though, it's good that there's still a chance for talks to happen again. Like, can you imagine if diplomacy was as cool as a Netflix series 
? No more missiles flying everywhere, no more "magic solutions" just to get out of talks... it's all about respecting each other's boundaries, right?
or Iran trying to strong-arm the US. It's time to get serious about finding a peaceful solution... before things get out of hand 
so i think its like this - diplomacy is cool 
its all about the US approach tho 
either way, i hope they can find a peaceful solution
